My column about apps on Mastodon appears in print today. From what I'm told, it did very well on the web after publishing on Friday. It got MANY boosts and Favorites here on Mastodon, so I assume that's where a lot of traffic came from. It'll be very interesting to see what kind of print-reader feedback I get via email.

This is a gift link to the story, so it should get at least some of you past the paywall if you don't have a subscription. If not, use archive.ph.

Skogafoss Waterfall, Iceland. Black and White Fine Art Photography 🖤 🤍
I waited a long time to get this photo. I wanted exactly one person in the picture (to give a scale of this majestic waterfall).

Lone storm building looking over White Sands. This was such a magical summer evening in a magical place. #NewMexico #WhiteSands #Weather #Photography

The #MilkyWay over an #abandoned #TrainStation just outside the #GhostTown of #Kolmanskop in #Namibia #Africa was #amazing. The town used to be a #diamond mining town. Once the #diamonds ran dry the town was left to the #desert .

Just another glitch
in the machinery
Tech Central decrees
is too expensive to be fixed...

Gotta do the workaround
to bypass the defect
in our ancient process
that will not be upgraded
til the last of us dinosaurs
is gone

"Your excellency, we know you wanted us to take Soledar for their tasty salt mines, but Lavrov here has a plan to sneak into a German Costco and steal pink sea salt for your fries."

Life Without The Algorithm

"There's more to photography than being popular. Being genuine counts for something too. In the new frontier of the Fediverse the focus is on enjoying your craft instead of being crafted by the algorithm."

Watching a documentary on the history of national parks and learning it took a century before management of the parks was routinely guided by science rather than popularity metrics.

We don’t have that long for our digital environments. But also, I am committed to the long game. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CS2ZM9-xL._RI_.jpg

Trump took hundreds of classified materials to Mar-a-Lago. He failed to comply with a federal subpoena. He returned some documents, but held on to others.

Based on everything we know, none of this applies to Biden.

EXTREMELY RARE footage of the elusive box jellyfish Chirodectes. Larger than a soccer ball, this jelly is a true ocean mystery, and this video is one of the only in existence, filmed off the coast of Papua New Guinea in 2021.
